This farmhouse was built in 1849 by Augustus L. Sturges, the first white settler of a ninety-acre farm that extended from this site eastward. The farm adjacent to the south was settled by Horace Bigelow<\/a> in that same year. The section line trail that became Hagadorn Road was initially \u201cbrushed out\u201d north of Grand River Avenue by Sturges and Bigelow.1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1860 John Putnam Marble purchased the land along with another fifty acres to the west, and donated a portion of that land to establish a school district. As a result the surrounding local community took on the Marble name and the first Marble School<\/a> was soon built across the road.2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

J. P. Marble\u2019s daughter, Mary Angela Sophia Marble, married Warren Burcham in 1872. For more about her, see Robert Burcham and Burcham\u2019s Woods<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house is now used as a day care center.<\/p>\n\n\n
